On March 6, Cedar Park City Council accepted the dedication of land at New Hope Drive and Cottonwood Trail. Cedar Park Health System L.P. donated the 2.4-acre site for the construction of a new city fire station. Council members said the city hoped to find property in the northern part of the city for that purpose. A new fire station would be the city's fifth.
